Joe Harrington, Lethbridge, Alberta. Here is my Beaver RX550. I bought it new in 1987 and installed ASAP's wing conversion in 1997. The Beaver is a very robust airplane with no unpleasant surprises. I have updated most of the parts to where it is essentially now a Beaver RX550 Plus. The wing conversion dramatically improved the handling and increased the cruise speed about 10 mph. The engine is the original Rotax 503 DC. I very much enjoy cross country flying and camping trips, often loading more than 100 pounds of gear into the back seat. I have put about 300 hours on the airplane since the wing conversion. Thanks to ASAP for the great customer service and keeping a great airplane like the Beaver alive.
